Shit yeah. Its the new thing to drink around in the garage.

What model is your Cr 80? I have 2 near - new front and rear guards to suit a 82 - 85 model, if you need them.

Never thought I'd say this when Hoony was in earshot, but that is one sexy little Honda.  Well done KB - it's a credit to you mate.  Including the home made exhaust (which looks great) and the dunny lid number plates (which also look great).
A real example of enginuity at work.
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible
